A/N: I think Tonks and Lupin make the best couple in HP, so I'm writing a TonksxLupin fic.

Mrs. Weasley smiled as a young witch stepped through the door of the Burrow. Her face was heart shaped; her hair was the brightest of pinks, as were her eyes. Her nails were a soft pink in color and she wore deep purple, almost black robes.

"Wotcher Molly." She smiled as Mrs. Weasley closed the door behind her.

"Good afternoon Tonks. Glad you could make it for Harry's birthday." She smiled. The witch had certainly felt better ever since Lupin had returned from living with werewolves, and since Dumbledore's funeral.

Mrs. Weasley took her coat and hung it with the others before making her way into the living room where most of everyone sat, chatting away.

Mr. Weasley was talking about something at the Ministry with Lupin, Harry and Ron were playing a game of Wizard's chess while Crookshanks watched, Hermione and Ginny sat with Tonks, laughing as she began to change her appearance, and Fred and George sat by the window, playing Exploding Snap. Molly smiled and went back into the kitchen to finish dinner.

Harry still hadn't decided if he was going back to Hogwarts or not. It was going to reopen, but what was the point in going. He had overheard that Lupin had been asked to teach again, but he had declined. Harry couldn't see why, but all Lupin had said was now that Snape was gone, what was he supposed to do about his furry little problem?

Snape. Harry was determined to kill the bloody basterd, but right now, he watched as his pawn attacked Ron's bishop.

"Do the pig nose!" Ginny laughed at Tonks. She screwed up her face as if trying to remember something, then her nose changed into a pig's nose and she let out a snort. Hermione and Ginny broke into fits of hysteria. At that point, Fleur and Bill, now married, walked into the room. She took one look at Tonks and rolled her eyes. Tonks didn't seem to notice, for she had just caught Lupin's eye. If there were one thing she could change about that moment, it would be for the fact that she would have her own nose, not a pig nose. Lupin just smiled at her, trying to suppress a laugh before turning back to Mr. Weasley. Tonks sighed.

"What's wrong Tonks?" Hermione questioned as her nose went back to normal and she became depressed.

"Nothing you need to worry about." She said, faking a smile and changing her nose again, causing Ginny and Hermione to burst into giggles again, forgetting about the question.

During dinner, Tonks ate in silence, despite the fact that Ginny and Hermione kept bugging her to change her appearance again. She told them later.

Tonks thought she could handle coming to the Burrow and seeing Remus. She was wrong. They hadn't seen each other since the funeral, but they had been writing to each other nearly every other day. She glanced at him, but he was still talking to Arthur. What could they be talking about that demanded his attention the entire evening?!

Sighing again, she left as soon as the plates had been cleared, while Molly was turned to get Harry's cake. She slipped quietly up the stairs, headed out onto the roof. Molly had told her she was welcome to the roof anytime, so it was kind of her home away from home. She sat down on the edge of the roof, dangerously swinging her legs over the side.

"Dora, what are you doing up here?"

She jumped and almost lost her balance, but she regained it, not turning around to face Remus.

"Thinking." She replied stiffly. She heard him sigh in frustration behind her. She heard his footsteps and thought he had left, but instead he sat down beside her, also dangling his legs off the side of the building, glancing nervously at the ground.

"I know that's not why you're up here."

"I'm surprised you know me at all Remus. You haven't talked to me in person for a while. Not since the funeral." She muttered, taking out her wand and drawing shapes in the air. The snowflakes falling began to follow a certain pattern that she made with her wand. She was, determined not to look Remus in the eye.

"Aren't you cold?" He questioned her.

"No. Not really." She murmured, looking down at the garden. She thought she saw a gnome dart after a worm, but then go back under his bush.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing.

"Nymphadora," He warned.

"Don't pretend you don't know what's wrong with me Remus Lupin!" She told him fiercely, her now hazel eyes staring at him.

"We've been over this before. I'm too old, too dangerous-"

"Too poor…. Yes, yes I know Remus, I know. I don't care!" She told him, her voice rising.

"Dora, I can't. I'm afraid I'll hurt you."

"Then go ahead and bite me. That solves everything." She muttered furiously.

"I can't do that either." He told her.

"Well then we came come up with something else that will work Remus. I'll go away during the full moon and come back the next day or something! I don't know." She told him, tears beginning to brim her eyes.

He sighed and put his hand under her chin, forcing her to look at him again. With his free hand he brushed the tears off her cheek. Her eyes suddenly changed from hazel to a dark brown and her hair to a mousy brown. He looked at her.

"What happened to the pink I love so much?" He questioned fingering a lock of her new colored hair. She looked away from him, causing the curl to drop from his hand.

"Dora, why aren't you talking to me anymore?" He asked her after a minute. She ignored him and stood up, going back downstairs, leaving him alone on the roof.

Remus had now idea how much she loved him! But if she loved him so much, why did she leave him. She shook her head and put another bite of ice cream in her mouth. She had found sympathy with her cookie dough ice cream and her T.V.

"Sarah, I love you." The man on the soap opera she had turned the channel on said to the woman in front of him. A tub of ice cream was suddenly thrown at the T.V.

"Liar!" Tonks screeched at the T.V. before turning the channel on the Wizarding news. Nothing new except for a woman thought she saw Voldemort walk by her front door. She turned it off and stood up, surveying her flat. It was a complete mess from where she had spent her most recent time, wishing Remus was back.

"Scourgify." She muttered, waving her wand. The mess was instantly gone, and the flat was spotless. The minute she had put her wand away, her doorbell rang. Going to answer it, she didn't immediately open the door.

"Whose there?" She questioned.

"It's Hermione!" Drifted her voice through the door. She threw it open and she received a glare from the teenager.

"You should have made sure I wasn't a Death Eater using Polyjuice Potion or something!" She said, entering the small flat. Tonks rolled her eyes and closed the door.

"What can I help you with?" She asked, ignoring the girl's comment. Hermione remained silent for a moment.

"You know, you really should have made sure I was the person I said I was." Hermione said, smirking a bit. Tonks looked at her. Before she could react, Hermione drew her wand and blasted Tonks back against the wall. She pointed the wand to herself and the next instant, Tonks found herself staring at a very ugly and vicious Greyback. He snarled at her.

Tonks reached for her wand, which had flown out of her hand, but Greyback smiled.

"Accio wand!' she cried and Tonks' wand soared into his outstretched hand. HE laughed.

"Let's see your werewolf save you now."

A/N: Please, no flames on this story. I've written the first chapter fairly short, but I want to know what you think first.
